In the past three months... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ We experienced our first Lenten and Paschal season as a clergy family. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ We bought our first home. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ We renovated that home ourselves. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ I officially began booking 2022 weddings and have already done a few site visits for said weddings! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ I edited 14 wedding galleries, 8 family, and 6 newborn sessions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✨ And of course, we MOVED. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 😅😅😅😅 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It doesn’t sound as ambitious when I write it all down, but phew! It’s been eventful and joyful and...a little challenging at times if I’m being honest. As I write this post, and look at my prep list for my upcoming sessions, I’m feeling so thankful and excited for a full summer calendar of weddings, babies, and family gatherings that I have the honor of capturing, God willing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m also thankful that my husband bought a grill and learned how to make homemade ice cream…have I ever mentioned how spoiled I am?😍 Swipe 👉🏻 for more photos of the past few months! . . . #elmassihadventures #familyphotographer #momtog #cameramama #familyoffour #familyiseverything #clergyfamily #orthodoxfamily #letthembelittle #virginialiving #valiving #petitejoys #humansofjoy #orthodoxmom #projectblessed #documentyourdays #virginiaphotographer #vaphotographer #virginiafamilyphotographer #vafamilyphotographer #warrentonmoms #warrentonva #warrentonvirginia #novamom #novaphotographer #novafamilyphotographer #novanewbornphotographer #novamaternityphotographer #risingtidesociety #themotherhoodanthology 
“June is generous with her authentic gifts. Once again the days are sunny and hot. The roses and peonies are in bloom, and it’s time to feast on strawberries and cream. School is over, summer camp begins, and visions of vacations dance in our heads. Our smiles deepen, our laughter increases, our hearts open. This month we rediscover that it is life’s enrichments rather than the riches of life that bring us true contentment.” - Sarah Ban Breathnach . . . . #june #kalomina #virginia #virginiaisforlovers #engaged #shesaidyes #washingtondc #washingtondcweddingphotographer #dcwedding #dcweddingphotographer #virginiawedding #virginiaweddingphotographer #dcphotographer #virginiaphotographer #adventureawaits #novaweddingphotographer #novaphotographer #leesburgweddingphotographer #engagementphotoinspo #sothisislove #isaidyes
